Proverbs 17
1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting [with] strife.
Dunu ilia da hafoga: le gamogai agi ga: gi fawane nasea, be ilia dogo ganodini olofosu dawa: , amo dunu ilia hahawane hou da dunu ilia lolo nabe ida: iwanedafa hamosa be gilisili bidi hamosa, amo bagade baligisa.
2 A wise servant shall rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
Dawa: iwane hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ea wadela: i hamedeidafa mano amoma ouligisu agoai ba: mu. Amola ea hina da bogosea, e da ea hina nana liligi amola muni mogili lamu.
3 The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but Jehovah trieth the hearts.
Dunu da gouli amola silifa laluga gogobele adoba: sa. Amo defele, Gode da dunu ea dogo adoba: sa.
4 The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu ilia da wadela: i hou sia: fawane nabimusa: dawa: Ogogosu dunu ilia da ogogosu sia: fawane naba.
5 Whoso mocketh a poor [man] reproacheth his Maker; he that is glad at calamity shall not be held innocent.
Di da hame gagui dunu ilima lasogole oufesega: sea, Gode da amo dunu hahamoiba: le, di da Godema gadesa. Di da eno dunu ilia se nabasu amo hahawane ba: sea, Gode da dima se imunu.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Dunu mano ilia da ilia eda amola ame ilima nodosa. Amo defele, dunu da: i ilia da ilia aowalalima ofa: le hidale ba: le sia: sa.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a vile [man]; how much less do lying lips a noble!
Gagaoui dunu ilia sia: da hamedei liligi agoai gala. Be dunu ilima dunu eno da nodosa, amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:
8 A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it prospereth.
Dunu mogili ilia agoane dawa: Ilia da dunu eno ilima hano sulugili sia: sea, amo dunu da ilia hanai huluane hamomu.
9 He that covereth transgression seeketh love; but he that bringeth a matter up again separateth very friends.
Di da dunu eno dima hahawane ba: ma: ne hanai galea, ilia dima giadofale hamosea, amo hedolowane gogolema: ne olofoma. Be wadela: i hou hame gogolema: ne olofosea, dia fi da afafai ba: mu.
10 A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.
Di da noga: le dawa: su dunu ema afadafa fawane gagabole sia: sea, e da naba. Be di da gagaoui dunu ema eno sia: ne, eno sia: ne, fabe amomane, e da sia: hamedafa naba.
11 An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion; but a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da lelei hou fawane hamosa. Ea bogosu da ema nimi bagade sia: adole iasu dunu agoai ba: mu.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man rather than a fool in his folly.
Di da bea aseme amo ea mano da fisi, amogai doaga: sea, se nabimu. Be di da gagaoui dunu amo da ea gagaoui hou hamonana, ema doaga: sea, se bagade baligiliwane nabimu.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
Dunu da dima moloi hou hamosea, be di da wadela: i hou ema dabe iasea, di da eso huluane wadela: i fawane ba: lalumu.
14 The beginning of contention is [as] when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife before it become vehement.
Sia: ga gegesu mubi da hano hihiga: i bisili doasibi agoai gala. Amaiwane bu bagade hamosa: besa: le, hedolo ga: ma.
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are abomination to Jehovah.
Dilia da hame giadofai dunuma udigili se iasea, Hina Gode da bagade higasa. Amola, dilia giadofai dunuma se hame iasea, amo amolawane Hina Gode da bagade higasa.
16 To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he] hath no sense?
Gagaoui dunu da osobo bagade dawa: lamusa: muni bagade galagamu da defea hame galebe. Bai e da noga: le dawa: su hameba: le.
17 The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Na: iyado dunu da eso huluane ilia asigi hou olelesa. Dunu da se nabasea, na: iyado huluane da asigili, gilisili se nabimu da defea.
18 A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.
Dunu oda da liligi bidi lale, bidi mae iawane fa: no imunu sia: sa. Be eno dunu da amo dunu ea fa: no imunu bidi, amo hi da wali imunusa: sia: sea, e da gagoule agoane hamosa.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth a quarrel; he that maketh high his gate seeketh destruction.
Di da wadela: i hou hanai galea, di da bidi hamosu amola hanai gala. Di da hidale dia hou gaguia gadosea, bidi da dima doaga: mu.
20 He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.
Nowa dunu e noga: le mae dawa: le, wadela: i sia: sia: sea, e da moloi hou hame ba: mu. E da se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
21 He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow, and the father of a vile [man] hath no joy.
Nowa mano da gagaoui hou fawane hamosea, ilia edalali da gogosiasu amola se nabasu fawane ba: mu.
22 A joyful heart promoteth healing; but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
Di da eso huluane hahawane esalea, olo da bagadewane hame madelamu. Be eso huluane da: i dioiwane esalea, bogosu da gebewane doaga: mu.
23 A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of judgment.
Molole hame fofada: su dunu da hano sulugiliwane muni laha. Amasea, moloidafa fofada: su hame ba: sa.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
Dawa: su dunu da dawa: iwane hawa: hamonana. Be gagaoui dunu da udigili logo osea: i amoga ahoana.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
Gagaoui hou hamosu dunu mano amo ea hamobeba: le, ea ada amola ame da se bagade naba.
26 To punish a righteous [man] is not good, nor to strike nobles because of [their] uprightness.
Moloidafa dunu ema fofada: nanu, su lamu da defea hame. Wadela: i hame hamoi dunu ema se iasea, moloidafa fofada: su hou da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words; and a man of understanding is of a cool spirit.
Nowa dunu da hi hou da moloi hi dawa: , amo dunu da mae fisili udigili sia: dasu hame dawa: Asabole esalebe dunu da asigi dawa: su ea bai bagade dawa:
28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, [and] he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
Dunu ilia da hame sia: dasu dunu ba: sea, ilia da amo dunu da bagade dawa: su dunu agoai dawa: sa. Amola gagaoui dunu da ea lafi hame dagasea, e da bagade dawa: su dunu ilia da dawa: sa.
